More Than 6 Great Hours At Six Flags!

Hola!  For summer vacation my family didn't travel as most families often do.  For our summer vacation my parents took my family to Six Flags Over Georgia!  If you've been to Six Flags you probably understand my excitement, but if you haven't you probably do not know how I feel.  But first we had to wait two weeks.  But it was so much fun, it was worth it!  I'll never forget going!  It still amazes me that we went.  Let me explain: we talked about going for over a month!  I was beginning to think we wouldn't go, I'm embarrassed to say.  But one day my dad said, 'Your mom and I have been talking, and we've decided; next Sunday if the weather's nice, we're going to go to Six Flags!'.  Boy were we excited!  But the next Sunday it was rainy.  Everyone was disappointed.  But the next Sunday it was sunny and warm.  We were going to go to Six Flags!  So on our way home from Sunday Mass, we went to Six Flags!  My heart was pounding as we drove into the entrance.  As we piled out of the car, I started jumping up and down with Donna and Amy (Amelia).  We kept thanking our dad and screaming.  Finally, finally, finally we went through the gate!!  The first things we did were a) get a map b) scream c) decide that my dad, B-man, Donna, Amy and I would go on the Georgia Cyclone!  It was my first roller coaster EVER.  Period.  While we were slowly going "click, clack, click, clack," up the big, steep, slow hill, my heart was thudding like crazy.  Will I like it or not? I thought nervously, squeezing B-mans hand, in the front row.  Will I get sick? If I do I can't get off!  But as we zoomed down the hill, all my nervousness went Whoosh! right out of me in a big AAAAAUUUGGHH! (a scream if you couldn't figure it out.)  It.  Was.  Epic, exciting, and (kind of) tense!  But all in all, it was super-fun!!  By the end of the day, I had only gone on roller coasters, except for three.  I'll list the three non-roller coasters:                    1. merry go round                                                                                                               2. a raft                                                                                                                                 3. Gotham City Crime Wave (REALLY fun!)                                                                    ALL the rest of the rides I went on were roller coasters.  By the end of the day I had three favorite rides.  I'll list them for you (#1 and #2 are roller coasters;#3 is not a roller coaster.): 
  1. The Ninja 
  2. Dare Devil Dive (Goes up 90 degrees, than when you go down, it actually caves in!! My mom said it looked like a bobby pin.)                                      
  3. Gotham City Crime Wave (Its like a giant swing, but it swings you 'round and 'round.  That and the Ninja are the only ones I went on twice.) Also my dad got Amelia, Donna, the Tormentor, Baby and I cotton candy twice!  (Once before me and Amelia went on the Crime Wave, and right before we left.)  And that is my experience at Six Flags.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    -Krystal ;-)
